As organizations pursue digital transformation to become more responsive to the market, many have turned to cloud-native application architectures that rely heavily on Kubernetes. Unfortunately, those efforts have often stalled or failed. The ones that are successful can suffer from wasted resources and higher costs, or even application instability and downtime.

So, what do organizations need from their Kubernetes environments if they want to support cloud-native innovation at speed without developer burnout and over-provisioning?

In discussions with StormForge and Mirantis we’ll examine that question and more…

• What are the gaps around Kubernetes in terms of skills, complexity, etc.?
• How do we bring developers onboard, orient them, and help them deliver innovation more efficiently?
• How do we optimize applications at scale to balance cost and performance without time-consuming, repetitive, trial-and-error application tuning?

At this event, you will:

• Gain an understanding of the challenges facing Kubernetes ops teams and developers.
• See why optimization is such a challenge in Kubernetes environments, and the impact of inefficient application configurations.
• Learn how machine learning can go beyond human abilities to provide insights and recommendations to improve efficiency by 50% or more.
• See StormForge’s brand new offering in action and learn how it addresses Kubernetes efficiency in a whole new way.
• Be the first to experience XCAL's one-of-a-kind sports and fitness facility.
